Sub-Inspector of jagadgiriGutta, Naveen Reddy, attended the event and reiterated the police department’s commitment to eradicating ganja from Jagadgirigutta with the support of local residents.

He stated that ganja consumption is rising particularly among students and youth due to stress, workload, lack of parental care, and limited educational opportunities. He emphasized that involving children in sports from an early age helps them cope with stress and prevents them from falling into drug abuse.

He encouraged continuous awareness programs and appreciated the unity displayed by political leaders and residents in organizing the event. He called for sustained collective efforts to achieve a ganja-free community.

Key participants included CPI district secretary Umamahesh, assistant secretary Harinath Rao, Prajanatyam Mandali president Praveen, Congress leaders Ganesh and Sai Pantulu, Jana Sena president Satish, TRS Vice President Sajid, social worker Chikale Madhubabu, Helping Hands Vijay, Prajanatyam Mandali member Babu, and numerous basti leaders. Youth representatives, women’s groups, Cab Association leaders, and students from multiple schools also took part, ensuring the program’s resounding success.
